We have reservations at Marlin Bay until April 14 however when the weather aligns for a crossing to the Bahamas you take it. They are few and far between, especially this year, with these crazy winds we have been having. So we choose an anchorage north of Key Largo and begin our day with at least 5 other boats heading out. Some are continuing north and others are crossing. There are some shallow waters we will traverse today however those will be done at high tide. Always watching tides, weather, winds while traveling is a must. The channels are narrow in parts as well but large enough for us to still enjoy the sights. We pass Islamorada and Key Largo. Along this trek we are welcomed by a family of dolphins who give us a show for about 15 minutes. I did manage to take some video. This experience is such a wonderful experience that it is hard to put into words.
Approaching the anchorage our friends One Eye Dog are there along with 2 other boats. This is a large anchorage and a good 10 foot depth for a longer day of travel from Marathon. It took us the better part of 8 hours and 75 miles behind us.
We are so excited for the next part of our travels to the Bahamas.
